So I got the Gameboy sp classic nes edition, which is very very cool. but as
I was playing with it I found a dead pixel. so I returned it to the store
and got a new one. I got home and found that the new one has 2 dead pixels!
I have never had any problem with any Nintendo machine before. Do all
gameboys now have a dead pixel or two, or am I having extremely bad luck?
Am I being to picky?

most lcd screens do have one or two dead pixels, but usually in palces
you can never tell. By the sounds of it you're just very unlucky!

Remember, simple dust on the inside of the screen may make you think
you have a dead pixel when you really don't

How would i clean the dust out? Both Gameboys were new right out of the box.

what exactly is a dead pixel? how do you identify it?

It's a pixel that is always on, and always the same color. Usually
white or black, but sometimes a different color.

so you can see it when the screen is off? or is it just something that is
noticeable when it's on?

If you can see it when the unit is off, it's probably dust and not
actually a dead pixel.

When I got my gba sp the unit I bought initially had a dead pixel just near
the middle of the screen, so I believe you - it's not dust. I took it back
the next day and they gave me a different one which we tried while I was in
the shop and it's fine.

U can see dust 'cos it's above the screen (usually stuck just below the
glass cover), where a dead pixel is actually on the screen itself, and
doesn't change position when you rotate/tilt the gba.
